[left dove]

I'm awake and I don't know why

[winged sky]

Motherboard, cpu cooler, and ssd can all be swapped for cheaper but just as good versions.

[left dove]

but c'est la vie

[rigid fjord]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/fpFG4p when it has multiple fixes

[thorn escarp]

what's this mess for?

[tidal geyser]

Rgb

[rigid fjord]

me every morning

[thorn escarp]

jesus this is gonna be a pain

[spare finch]

i feel like 850w is not enough

[tidal geyser]

Those cases make me cry

[thorn escarp]

why

[tidal geyser]

80w+ 350

[tidal geyser]

Good luck

[thorn escarp]

its the cheapest deepcool one w good airflow lol

[winged sky]

Why not get an this for the cpu cooler instead? https://a.co/d/gch99x5

[rigid fjord]

it's more than enough for that combo, still though the 5070 isn't worth it over a 4070ti/4070ti super

[last mural]

Bro this Shi will not go in unless I bend tf out of my board . Is this ok ??

[rigid fjord]

redo this but for aussies, not yanks

[tidal geyser]

Plug if in

[winged sky]

Wiggle it in.

[winged sky]

Is the aussie dollar really that bad? Dam

[rigid fjord]

yes

[thorn escarp]

should i do that thing linus did where he closed a case's back panel by stepping on it

xD

[tidal geyser]

The phanteks XT pro ultra is a tiny tiny amount more but has actual fans and good 4 pin ones at that

[rigid fjord]

definitely sucks against uk currency the most

[winged sky]

Jesus

[latent mica]

What should I do if I can't rename the BIOS files?

[winged sky]

Why would you need to do that?

[latent mica]

Building pc soon

[rigid fjord]

sometimes the bios is needed to be renamed for flashing the bios

[tidal geyser]

Cool?

[thorn escarp]

mine needed to be changed to msi.rom to flash it

[winged sky]

....huh??? Ive never once needed to do that

[tidal geyser]

You do know the bios already comes with the motherboard

[winged sky]

Thats... really weird

[tidal geyser]

Only qflash

That button

[winged sky]

OHHHHHH

[thorn escarp]

its cus i flashed it without booting into the bios

[rigid fjord]

if it's an asus bios, there is a renamer.exe file that renames their bios for you

[winged sky]

Makes sense, alright then

[rigid fjord]

aka bios flashback

[latent mica]

I got a MSI motherboard. So I don't need to download anything to a usb? Just press the bios flash button?

[tidal geyser]

What cpu and what motherboard

[rigid fjord]

you will need to unzip the file to a usb drive, rename it to msi.rom and then press the the flashback button

[latent mica]

MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk with the Ryzen 7 7700x

[tidal geyser]

So why TF do you need to update the bios

Also wtf is that combo

It looks like chat gpt made it

[latent mica]

Wdym😭

[latent mica]

When building a fresh pc don't I need to download bio's???

[tidal geyser]

Yeah??

[rigid fjord]

not always, but mostly

[tidal geyser]

Only windows needs to be installed

[tidal geyser]

Are the parts already on the way or just considering

[latent mica]

Oh ok, thx lol

[rigid fjord]

you forget drivers also

[latent mica]

On the way already, but what's wrong with them? Is it the cores on CPU?

[tidal geyser]

Only wifi needs quick access

[left dove]

cringe profile my guy

[tidal geyser]

It's just horribly priced

And I'm done

[thorn escarp]

how do you remove a case standoff

i only need 8

[last mural]

The latch is on but it still has a small gap ?

[latent mica]

Of course a person with a transformers flag in their name is saying that

[winged sky]

Oh... oh wtf...

[winged sky]

Really? If you have to ask then im sorry but I cant help you XD

[thorn escarp]

wait but actually

how do i remove case standoffs? with pliers?

[winged sky]

The brain damage is real with some people Jesus christ

[latent mica]

How am I supposed to get a life. Already got one xd

[left dove]

It's fun to poke at these guys, it's great entertainment lmao

[abstract wigeon]

tech chat one just being tech chat one again nice oneee

[sonic trench]

What do i do?

[left dove]

press y, my guy

[winged sky]

Must suck having to be that edgy for people to "like" you

[latent mica]

It's not brain damage it's called Polish culture

[sonic trench]

First pc build.:)

[abstract wigeon]

timmy tough knuckles is back

[left dove]

v nice, then def press y

[latent mica]

Ok bud

[left dove]

LMAO I am so stealing that

[winged sky]

Yeaaaa i guess but it still irks me that people need to be so "edgy" to feel cool

[thorn escarp]

oi help im deadass 😭

[latent mica]

Nah I got lots of friends. It's actually people who respect my beliefs

[winged sky]

You shouldnt have to lol

[winged sky]

OK then respect others. Not that difficult

[thorn escarp]

8 holes, 9 standoffs

[rigid fjord]

you press Y and continue on

[latent mica]

I got brought up like this and I won't change it. I'm not fully against the community.

[winged sky]

Remove the one that doesn't line up with any holes in the board

[left dove]

I think it's like a 5mm hex socket, or just use pliers

[rigid fjord]

so you remove one, simples

[thorn escarp]

idk what a hex socket is tbh

i'll try pliers

[left dove]

Just trans people, right?

[winged sky]

You can use the ltt screwdriver to remove them :p

Without a bit

[thorn escarp]

bro i wouldve gone with a 5060 ti 16 gig if i had 70 more dollars

[latent mica]

No, the whole colorful community. they became way too open .

[winged sky]

Lol fair, I got mine years ago when the original black shafts were being sold

[left dove]

"way too open" - i.e. we became too loud for you for our right to live unharrassed

[thorn escarp]

why we discussing this in a server about pcs?? 😭

[thorn escarp]

i want the noctua oneeee

it's so pretty

but maybe i'll get a desk mat instead

[latent mica]

Peyton started insulting my beliefs. I just wanted to know about the BIOS

[thorn escarp]

I insulted your profile tbh

you just happened to out yourself as a shitty person after that soooooo

that bit's on you

[winged sky]

My sweet sweet boi

[latent mica]

I'm not the one looking at people's profiles xd

[left dove]

said like it's creepy lmao

[random gyro]

is A770 worth it? its got 16gb compared to B580 and its only costs like 15€ more

[left dove]

that's kinda why they exist, bud

[abstract wigeon]

was this spider sense?

[winged sky]

I mean they are public. Anyone can look at them. Its literally the entire point. No one forced you to put dumb shit on it

[latent mica]

No one forced Peyton to criticise my personal beliefs, and it's not dumb shit ( lots of polish and right and far right people will agree)

[left dove]

https://tenor.com/view/spiderman-funny-laugh-gif-11964564

[winged sky]

Man. If you have to put that on your profile just to try and rile people up, you are absolutely a no lifer

[abstract wigeon]

i missed a chapter what are this guys personal beliefs

[sinful cobalt]

dude can u speakup

[left dove]

"lgbt too open"

[winged sky]

Check his profile lol

[latent mica]

It's not on my profile just to rile people up xd. It's literally not. I got brought up believing this

[abstract wigeon]

ah

[left dove]

"lgbt exists too loudly" - Greg.

[sinful cobalt]

i cant hear u from up here

[left dove]

trans gpu trans gpu

[winged sky]

You got brought up being racist and closed minded? Extra edgy ay?

[thorn escarp]

sheeeesh

[rigid fjord]

i have the best profile

[latent mica]

Yeah they got a whole month for themselves but war veterans dont

[latent mica]

When did I bring up racism?

[left dove]

dude we all know what you're trying to say here

[sinful cobalt]

idk and idc what yall arguing about just drop it in the trash

[latent mica]

Dayum, disrespecting my pronouns 😅

[left dove]

Can you get better material

[latent mica]

Cmon guys be respecting and a loving community

[left dove]

I've been insulted better by tweakers

[winged sky]

People like this dont have the cognitive ability to come up with anything original

[abstract wigeon]

[trail patio]

Such a non issue 💔 just ignore it

[winged sky]

Inb4 mods nuke this whole chat

[left dove]

I'm sitting here drinking coffee & having a giggle and this dude's all crusty over the tiniest of things

[latent mica]

Me? Xd

[winged sky]

Black or with cream and sugar?

[left dove]

Anyways I'm bummed because an 8 hour render fucked up and the dof broke 💔

[sinful cobalt]

i just wokeup

[winged sky]

Mmmm blender lsd

[left dove]

I usually just go straight black dark roast but lately I've been using a splash of milk just to add a slight creamery-ness to it

[abstract wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/n3gat1ve-simon-gif-22685414

[latent mica]

Sure😊

[winged sky]

Ahh I cant drink straight black, the acidity eats my stomach alive

[thorn escarp]

MAN this stand off really wont come out

[left dove]

mandelbulber, actually

[thorn escarp]

it's been like 5 minutes

[winged sky]

Get some needlenose pliers and go in from the side, just be careful not to snap it off

[thorn escarp]

the side?

[ebon marlin]

Yummy couple of repairs today

[winged sky]

Even trippier, I love the colors

[winged sky]

Like angle it horizontal, or flat against the motherboard tray

[thorn escarp]

HOLY SHIT FINALLY

i completely fucked up the paint

[winged sky]

At least you won't see it once the motherboard is in XD

I scratched the shit outa my first case doing that

[winged sky]

Damn

[thorn escarp]

eww!

[winged sky]

Just use some black sharpie

[thorn escarp]

should i lay this case on the side

or just put the mobo standing up

[winged sky]

Sideways

[left dove]

on its side

[winged sky]

Way easier

[thorn escarp]

wait i can put the mobo in now right? i have the io panel and the psu

[winged sky]

Should be able to yes.

[thorn escarp]

alrighty

if i lay it on its side the wires are gonna get smushed in between

hope that wont fuck anything up?

i think i need to take the rear fan out

[winged sky]

Should be fine unless you're putting all your body weight onto it

[left dove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1fxZ-VWs2U

[winged sky]

Shouldn't have to, just shimmy it in beside the fan

[thorn escarp]

ok i think i made the prongs on the io shield come out a bit too much

huh i cant rly get it in

[left dove]

this is gonna look siiiiiiick

[thorn escarp]

like the top left hole wont align with the top left standoff

[left dove]

are all the i/o ports lining up

[thorn escarp]

not the ones that are a bit to the left

/ bit to the back of the mobo

[left dove]

try realigning

[winged sky]

Now all you need to do is animate it and make it a moving wallpaper

[left dove]

each frame takes 4h to render are you mad

[sinful cobalt]

colourful sh*t keep cookin

[winged sky]

Maybe a little

Also holy shit thats a big render

[sinful cobalt]

u need a TR 9995WX with like 512GB ram, multiple RTX pro 6000 BWs

[thorn escarp]

yea its def cus of the io shield

[left dove]

nah this is

[winged sky]

18800×12600

[thorn escarp]

which ones do yall think is causing trouble

[left dove]

clip all the little dangly bits tbh

[thorn escarp]

clip them?

[left dove]

they're more of a pain than their worth in ESD protection

[winged sky]

Is this taken from inside or outside the case

[thorn escarp]

inside

[winged sky]

Oh ok

[winged sky]

Fair, they are a pain in the ass sometimes but usually I dont have to resort to taking em off

[thorn escarp]

could be that i didnt install the io shield properly

cus it wasnt going in very easily

[left dove]

as long as all 4 corners are snapped in its gucci

[thorn escarp]

they areee

huh

what should i try

[winged sky]

Snip snip

[thorn escarp]

how difficult is it to cut them?

[left dove]

it's sheet metal, you can do it with a good pair of scissors

[thorn escarp]

and what do i use to cut it?

i see

[winged sky]

If you have none on hand you can just bend it back and forth till it snaps off

Might be a bit tedious

[left dove]

^ This is a little trickier because sharp edges

[winged sky]

Yeaaa but scissors will probs do the same thing unless cut flush

[left dove]

[tidal geyser]

I just sold me a i7 2700

Well pc with it in it

50$ richer

[winged sky]

Sweet

[tidal geyser]

And then next week I should get 700

Life is good when you have money

[thorn escarp]

ok now im convinced its cus of the fucking io shield not going in the full way

[tidal geyser]

Skill issue

[thorn escarp]

are the very little notches supposed to be on the outside of the case?

like they're superrrr tiny

[tardy dawn]

Any good gpu support brackets I can buy?

[tidal geyser]

What GPU

[tidal geyser]

Pic of how you are doing this

[left dove]

did it snap/click in

[thorn escarp]

kinda

[tidal geyser]

Pic

[thorn escarp]

doesnt seem like it clicked in on all sides

[left dove]

give it another pushing

[thorn escarp]

uhhh just pushing it out?

[tidal geyser]

I feel like that one comes with a support bracket

[tardy dawn]

It might tbf I didn’t check the whole box

[left dove]

i read support blanket at first

[tidal geyser]

That is correct

[left dove]

why aren't we using small blankets to create easily modifiable ducting in cases

this is a great idea for dust control & personalization, too

[tidal geyser]

Blankets breath

As in air can go out of em

[left dove]

no shit

[tidal geyser]

So not great for pc stuffff

[left dove]

I'm talking like cpu/gpu isolation ducting

while also being a passive catch for dust/hair

[tidal geyser]

I dono

[left dove]

so what if 1/20th of the airflow gets through, the bulk is being guided

[thorn escarp]

HOLY SHIT its not going in

god damn

[winged sky]

Wouldn't that just direct the dust straight to those parts instead?

[left dove]

no, like

there's still the front air filter

inside the chassis you use the fabric pulled taut to create essentially a divider between cpu/gpu areas

[tardy dawn]

Do some manufactures include support brackets?

[left dove]

yee

[thorn escarp]

guys

do i take this to someone

[tidal geyser]

Yup

[left dove]

no lmao

[thorn escarp]

cus i can NOT put this in

[tidal geyser]

I dono send a video

[thorn escarp]

my back hurts now

[tidal geyser]

What

[thorn escarp]

what kind

[left dove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1fxZ-VWs2U

pls just watch this

[thorn escarp]

they gloss over this

[tidal geyser]

With your 8k dlsr

[thorn escarp]

ive watched it like 5 times

[tidal geyser]

Just send a video of you trying to put the motherboard in

[tardy dawn]

It does come with one by the looks of it

[thorn escarp]

sure

[tidal geyser]

Could live without one but any you can find on Amazon should be fine

[tardy dawn]

Will install it when I’m home!! Btw here’s how my build turned out

[left dove]

deadass looks like the color palette of one of my renders lmao

[tidal geyser]

Does not look like it needs one

[tardy dawn]

lol!

[left dove]

deadass too lmao

[winged sky]

I see. Hmmmm....

The only thing id be worried about is material choice

[merry dagger]

Will my pcie thunderbolt expansion card work on amd am5 motherboard?

[left dove]

I think it's a cute customization thing- essentially you could use any form of fabric

[thorn escarp]

@tidal geyser IT DOESNT LINE UP

the standoff is a billion kilometres away from the holes

[winged sky]

Yea but static might be an issue

[left dove]

if it's in contact with the case its grounded

[left dove]

sometimes the end holes don't get a screw

[left dove]

god that's a phrase

[shrewd coral]

Can anyone help me reboot my pc, I tried jailbreaking a phone with palera1n but suddenly my main boot won’t work anymore and the only thing that works is Ventoy

[thorn escarp]

no hole is matching up with a standoff

[winged sky]

[left dove]

then I think you have standoffs in the wrong places

[thorn escarp]

:((( idk i might just take it to someone cus i cant do this

[thorn escarp]

there's no other place to put em

[winged sky]

You can do it mate, we believe in ya

[thorn escarp]

should i try without an io shield

[shrewd coral]

Pls

[left dove]

the shield isnt the issue dude

[tidal geyser]

Take a pic of the case where the motherboard goes

[left dove]

its in and seating fine

your standoffs are just in the wrong place

[winged sky]

You tried jailbreaking your phone and you broke your pc???? How tf????

[thorn escarp]

wait a fucking second

is it supposed to LIE ON THE STANDOFFS????????

[left dove]

this deadass sounds like you used some insanely sketch software that ended up being a bootstrap virus

[thorn escarp]

or are the standoffs supposed to COME OUT of the holes?????

[left dove]

its supposed to lie on them..

[thorn escarp]

OH

[left dove]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man2-spider-man-j-jonah-jameson-tobey-maguire-peter-parker-gif-26416399

[tidal geyser]

Wait did you take out all the standoffs??

[thorn escarp]

nope

[left dove]

adi you poor thing oml

i needed that giggle tysm

[thorn escarp]

im a moron

[left dove]

dw we all are

[shrewd coral]

Im not sure if it broke, the pc itself works just fine. But now I can only start up ventoy with the usb stick and if I don’t use it it tells me to insert system boot and if I insert the usb I used to add a system on my pc it tells me to get windows 11 again but I can’t cuz it says there is already a system in use and it’s my system

[shrewd coral]

No I used an official guide via the jailbreaking discord I’m just kind of horrible with pc stuff

[tidal geyser]

It's not pc stuff

[winged sky]

Dude.... thats... wha...

[left dove]

yeah dude you downloaded malware

[tidal geyser]

Well ok it is but not the kind most refer too

[left dove]

and it nuked your bootsector

[winged sky]

Yea

Id go with that

Good luck man

[thorn escarp]

i might be the stupidest person to touch a pc

[last mural]

Bruh why tf does my bios file just not wanna show up

[left dove]

use a windows install iso to repair your boot drive and run a malware scan

[shrewd coral]

This the only thing I can start up rn

[left dove]

yeah ventoy is the only thing thatll start because it's not a fucked up boot device

repair windows, run a malware scan

[winged sky]

Yea thats... thats malware my guy. Anything that takes over your system like that id class as malware

[shrewd coral]

I could try putting my main boot option as my drive again but it still doesn’t work

[left dove]

BECAUSE

YOUR BOOT VOLUME IS FUCKED

[shrewd coral]

😭

[left dove]

you are literally talking in a loop we fully understand the situation and I have now twice given you recovery instructions

[winged sky]

@shrewd coral do this.

[shrewd coral]

How the hell do I do that

😭

[winged sky]

Youll need a USB stick and another computer

[shrewd coral]

Does a laptop work

[winged sky]

Is it a computer

[left dove]

go to another computer, download the windows media creation tool FROM MICROSOFT, plug in a flash drive, install windows to flash drive, boot to flash drive on broken pc, repair

[shrewd coral]

Yes

[winged sky]

Then yes. It will work

[shrewd coral]

Will it go back to normal if I do that

[left dove]

maybe? start with what I told you and we'll see what happens

[shrewd coral]

Alr

[winged sky]

Maybe if your drive hasn't been severely corrupted

But you will have to repair to find out

[left dove]

pray you didn't just install some form of ransomware that encrypted your .efi volume

[shrewd coral]

Probably not, I hope atleast cuz I just followed the guide from the official jailbreaking discord

[left dove]

I wouldn't trust a discord walkthrough tbh

too easily modifiable with a malicious link

especially if you don't know what you're doing

[shrewd coral]

I mean normally I wouldn’t either but it’s a server dedicated to jailbreaking with like 600k people in it😭

[winged sky]

@shrewd coral seems like you aren't the only person that this has happened to

[shrewd coral]

Before I get my laptop to do repair it do I try any of this

[left dove]

wait

waaaaait wait wait

[shrewd coral]

Okay

[left dove]

does this jailbreak software require you to boot from it

[shrewd coral]

That’s grub2 mode btw

[left dove]

Oh my god you actually overwrote your boot volume

[shrewd coral]

I have to plug in the usb I installed it on for it to start

[thorn escarp]

peyton

peyton

where's dr haze and sim

[left dove]

is this tool booting from the internal drive or a usb

[thorn escarp]

feel free to laugh at me for my gross incompetence

[winged sky]

Eh?

[shrewd coral]

Usb I think

[left dove]

you better make damn sure

[shrewd coral]

wait explain further

So I can make sure

[winged sky]

@left dove @shrewd coral it seems like ventoy is uh... unreliable at best https://www.reddit.com/r/Ventoy/s/H4opqbfc59

[left dove]

Did you install the jailbreak software to a flash drive or your main drive

[shrewd coral]

I installed it on a usb

[thorn escarp]

i hate this dont use it, pls for the love of god use a windows vm and use rufus

[winged sky]

Its not me using it lol

[left dove]

WMCT is fine enough if your hardware is actually compatible with w11

[shrewd coral]

This one

[left dove]

and why a windows vm what

[thorn escarp]

ok so all the mobo screws in in the case pouch right

[left dove]

unplug it and try booting to windows

[winged sky]

Should be yes

[shrewd coral]

So I just unplug it and restart the pc?

[winged sky]

Hopefully.

[left dove]

yes

[shrewd coral]

K

It’s still on the grub2 if I unplug

[proper gull]

Looks like the classic cheap drive that just dies after a few ISO writes

[left dove]

reboot the fuckin' pc dude

[thorn escarp]

why are there 18 of these? i only need 8 for the 8 standoffs i have right?

[winged sky]

Power off your computer entirely

[shrewd coral]

Alr

[winged sky]

They can be used for other things as well but dont have be.

[winged sky]

oof

[left dove]

yep you fucked your boot volume, get a windows install usb disk and run repair

[winged sky]

RIP boot sector

[left dove]

stop fucking with jailbreaking, too

[shrewd coral]

Im never doing that again dw😭

[left dove]

like if you don't know what you're doing you shouldn't be messing with it

shit like this happens

[thorn escarp]

can someone confirm that this is a mobo screw

i dont wanna seem like a moron again

[shrewd coral]

I have a usb that has the windows installer on it already, the one I first used when I first got the pc

Can I use that one

[left dove]

so use that

[shrewd coral]

Alr

[left dove]

fine thread is motherboard

i.e. that

[winged sky]

Looks like it yes

[thorn escarp]

ty yall ur all sweethearts

[winged sky]

Today has been thoroughly entertaining

Lol

[left dove]

this is nothing lmao

[thorn escarp]

haze

did u see that message?

i thought the standoffs CAME OUT of the mobo holes

[winged sky]

Oh I know, I used to hang around in the pcmr server

[winged sky]

LMAOOOOO at least ya know now

[left dove]

I've had people disassemble their entire pc because they "couldn't see" the pins to bridge to turn on even after I told them like, 8 times & gave numerous pics lmao

[shrewd coral]

I had this guy a while back that already tried helping me getting windows baxk cuz when I plugged in the windows installer and restarted the pc it said I couldn’t get windows anymore and we tried like bypassing our way trough it

[thorn escarp]

im just not gonna tighten the mobo screws too much, yeah?

just so they dont do something bad?

[left dove]

if you use hand tools you're not going to hurt anything

[winged sky]

Some people just refuse to listen, and when giving information thry dont think is correct even when it very clearly is thry just flat out refuse to listen

Its why I got banned from pcmr actually

[left dove]

and people ask me why I'm so grumpy in here sometimes

[shrewd coral]

What do I do

Oop wrong reply

[left dove]

press yes

[shrewd coral]

What do I do now

Okay

[thorn escarp]

laugh at me

[winged sky]

Yeaaaaaaa ignorant people telling me im wrong while im clearly right and just trying to help piss me off way more than it should

[unborn oxide]

what's flip to record?

[winged sky]

Hand tighten til you feel a little bit of resistance, thats all you need

[shrewd coral]

If I press yes do I unplug the USB that has the windows installer? Just to make sure cuz I really do NOT wanna do anything wrong

[unborn oxide]

anyone?

[left dove]

Let's do some cognitive reasoning

The usb drive contains windows files, right?

We want those files to repair your broken windows install

How will the repair be possible if the install files aren't connected to the system we're trying to repair?

[winged sky]

No idea, never used a nothing phone

[left dove]

google exists tbh

[winged sky]

Tbf it does say remove lol

[unborn oxide]

🤯

[shrewd coral]

Well yh but on the thing it says if you click yes remove the media, or is the media not the usb

[left dove]

ok we're making you a new repair usb

go find a flash drive

[shrewd coral]

Okay

[shrewd coral]

Do I get my laptop too?

[left dove]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

[winged sky]

Yes

[shrewd coral]

Kk

[left dove]

I don't know if I could ever do a corpo-level IT service

I feel like I'd be way too sassy/bitchy

"Peyton's homebrew IT service - I'll fix your things and call you on your stupid shit!"

[mint umbra]

Might go back to win 10 ngl

Win 11 sucks

[winged sky]

I felt that in my soul. When people dont listen to basic instructions it irritates the hell outa me

[left dove]

No. no. no. no. no.

Stop that.

[shrewd coral]

Okay I got my laptop and a new usb, will this usb do?

[left dove]

#tech-chat-1 message

[mint umbra]

Win 10 is better

[left dove]

It is not.

[winged sky]

Ehhhg its not that bad but im going to be switching to Linux before I go to windows 12

[shrewd coral]

We are on tech chat 1😭

[mint umbra]

Win 11 is bloated as fk

[winged sky]

Eh??

[left dove]

it links to a message, i.e. the message where I tell you what site to use and what option to click

[shrewd coral]

Ohhh

[mint umbra]

Linux isn't an option

For me

[left dove]

https://tenor.com/view/get-real-l-don't-care-didn't-ask-stay-mad-gif-1713657854833113217

[winged sky]

That suuuucks.

[left dove]

use win11 and use wsl + wayland

[mint umbra]

I play games that can't run with Linux

[winged sky]

Soooooo run windows in a vm?

Or dual boot?

[mint umbra]

I'd rather just have one os

[winged sky]

Idk what to tell ya mate. Windows 10 is EOL

[mint umbra]

Win 10 is fine

[shrewd coral]

I already wanna thank you on beforehand cuz really I’ve been having this problem for 2 months now 😭

[winged sky]

Its end of life. As in, not going to be supported for much longer.

[mint umbra]

Okay

[left dove]

god its like the win7 holdouts all over again

[mint umbra]

I don't really need win updates

Half time win updates cause more issues

[winged sky]

Yuuuuup. At least windows 7 users had a reason to hold out. Windows 8 was a complete cluster fuck

[mint umbra]

Than solutions

[left dove]

this is what xp users said, and look where easy attack vectors got them

[mint umbra]

Windows updates just make system run worse

[winged sky]

...

[left dove]

are you mattp's dad?

[mint umbra]

I'm just saying I've never had a windows update that made my experience better

Either it's the same or worse

[winged sky]

Not only is that usually false, without security updates just being connected to the internet in general will be a problem.

[left dove]

Sounds like a personal skill issue tbh

[mint umbra]

I have anti virus

[winged sky]

Oh sweet summer child

[left dove]

OH WAIT no i've had this argument with damocles like 8 times now, the dude just waddles in here to bait this kinda shit

[thorn escarp]

i have another question, do all front panel headers go into the bottom of the mobo?

[tribal briar]

Same it’s called windows defender and commen sense

[left dove]

I just keep forgetting because he's so irrelavent 🤷‍♀️

[winged sky]

Remember where you stuck the screwdriver to turn your pc on?

[thorn escarp]

also how do i know which front panel wires go into the mobo and which ones into the rgb hub my case has

[left dove]

the motherboard manual

[mint umbra]

And most virus are avoided if you just don't click sus links

[winged sky]

Unless the case itself has rgb the only rgb connectors youll have is from the fans, and those will go to the rgb hub

[mint umbra]

Getting a virus in 2025 is a skill issue

[thorn escarp]

gotchaaa

and the rgb hub plugs into the mobo?

[left dove]

so's your pc knowledge

[shrewd coral]

I downloaded the windows installer what now? Do I drag it onto the new usb

[winged sky]

When everything is properly up to date

[left dove]

did you download the media creation tool

[mint umbra]

So what I'm gunna get a virus from going on YouTube

[shrewd coral]

Oh wait nvm

[mint umbra]

Lmao

[winged sky]

Yes, make sure you know what type of rgb connector you are using before plugging it into the motherboard

[shrewd coral]

Okay now I did

[left dove]

now run the media creation tool

with the usb drive plugged in

[winged sky]

You have no idea just how viruses can work do you

[sinful cobalt]

what a roast

[winged sky]

Its true though lol

[sinful cobalt]

i didnt say otherwise

[shrewd coral]

I did, it did nothing at all😭

[mint umbra]

I've never gotta a virus

Cuz I'm not dumb enough to get one

[winged sky]

Because your system is up to date.

[shrewd coral]

Nvm wait

[left dove]

this file. run it on the laptop with the usb drive plugged into the laptop

[tribal briar]

Its not that difficult to insult windows

[mint umbra]

For now I had windows 7 for a couple of years after it wasn't supported

[winged sky]

And just because it may be rare doesn't mean it cant or won't happen

[sinful cobalt]

my friend somehow got a virus, used some virus scanner to remove n asked how to reinstall windows lmfao

[shrewd coral]

I did I did I just had to wait a bit mb

[mint umbra]

I'll be fine

[left dove]

now follow the prompts

[mint umbra]

There's ppl who still run win 7 lmao

[shrewd coral]

Kk

[winged sky]

And they are more and more at risk each year as people making viruses crack deeper into how to get around their antiviruses.

[left dove]

I've said it before & i'll say it again - with that attitude you forfeit any and all rights/opinions to bitch about how windows sucks when you inevitably get some sort of infection

++ I'm not helping you fix it

[winged sky]

But please, be my guest and test that theory

[mint umbra]

Mate I don't care about the security aspect

[left dove]

usb, yes

[abstract wigeon]

you guys played mage arena yet

[mint umbra]

I've had a phone that was 5 years past it's security updates as well

I'll manage

[winged sky]

Lmao, have fun losing your shit then

Or having passwords stolen

[mint umbra]

I don't have sensitive shit on my PC

[left dove]

uh huh

[shrewd coral]

The usb isn’t 8gb

[left dove]

find one that is

[winged sky]

https://tenor.com/view/doctor-who-celestial-toymaker-the-giggle-toymaker-alright-then-gif-16978854209434831329

[shrewd coral]

K

[mint umbra]

Only thing I use PC for is gaming and watching movies

[barren mulch]

is there a way i can wipe a usb that could potentially be a virus or rubber ducky in a controlled enviroment? i found a usb while walking to my bus stop and i think someone from my school may of dropped it but knowing them it could be something like that. its 128gb too.

[left dove]

don't even plug it into anything, just throw it out

[winged sky]

Uhuh and how do you play those games

[mint umbra]

Steam

[tribal briar]

Hamer will wipe it

[barren mulch]

okay!

[winged sky]

What happens if your steam account gets compromised and you cannot recover it.

[mint umbra]

They can't access steam account with out steam guard access

[winged sky]

Not worth it, destroy it and chuck it

[left dove]

dude if you're running your steam with no 2fa you're just dumb

Rotate your passwords at least twice a year

[mint umbra]

They would need my phone

To get into my steam account

[tribal briar]

I have no games so why do i need 2fa

[winged sky]

I mean listening to this guy try and reason with this makes me wonder lol

[winged sky]

...wha?

[left dove]

what is this response even

[shrewd coral]

I don’t think I have any other usb’s with more than 8gb. But that usb that’s plugged in my pc atm is more than enough and has a windows installer on it

[mint umbra]

Won't happen

[left dove]

no, wipe that usb and just have windows on it.

stop using ventoy

[mint umbra]

I only change passwords when. I forget them

[thorn escarp]

what does hdd led do?

[tribal briar]

I don’t have steam games i wish i got them on steam though

[mint umbra]

There's too many accounts be be changing passwords for everything

[left dove]

if you don't have steam games how does my comment on steam 2fa even apply to you then

[winged sky]

You say that, but I'd be weary. Its not worth the risk to me so I keep everything locked up nice and tight.

[shrewd coral]

It’s not the ventoy usb that’s on my pc rn it’s the one with only windows

[mint umbra]

Mate only way they get access to my steam is with my phone

[left dove]

My head is in pain now.

[winged sky]

Its like talking to a brick wall

[tribal briar]

It doesn’t yet but I should probably still put 2fa on it anyway

[left dove]

What the fuck are these conversations, am I talking to a bunch of >1b param llms

[shrewd coral]

What do I do

[left dove]

format the fuckin' ventoy one and use that

[thorn escarp]

yo chat help

everything else i know where it goes, what about this

[sinful cobalt]

i can call 911 for u

[left dove]

https://tenor.com/view/bartlett-west-wing-head-desk-gif-6012433

[shrewd coral]

How do I format it😭

[winged sky]

Read the motherboard manual.

[left dove]

by installing the windows to it

[tidal geyser]

Case manual

[left dove]

all the manuals

[tidal geyser]

Get rekt

[plush wren]

[left dove]

Sim you'd be just as frustrated, go play with your pcs outside

[winged sky]

Motherboard manual, as that is where these get plugged in.

[tidal geyser]

I know that is why I'm not doing it well and I should get things ready for my little vacation

[plush wren]

why doesnt everyone plant trees

[winged sky]

Holy Y splitters batman

[tidal geyser]

Well that is le case

[shrewd coral]

Won’t it just boot ventoy on my laptop if I plug it in

[tidal geyser]

And I'm not even 100% if it even can be plugged in

[left dove]

Dude it doesn't just automagically boot into something the moment you plug it in

[winged sky]

Not if you plug it in while it is already booted into windows.

[shrewd coral]

Okqy

[thorn escarp]

its rgb stuff i have no idea

[tidal geyser]

Xd

[thorn escarp]

i dont even know what to search for

in the manual

[left dove]

There's a thing called the table of contents

[shrewd coral]

Do I first clear it of ventoy?

[thorn escarp]

im sorryyyy :( ive been scrolling it for a sec

[left dove]

NO

[winged sky]

read case manual, find out what rgb fans come with the case, see what type they use, then read the motherboard manual to find out where those get plugged in at

[left dove]

Use the media creation tool to install a windows image to the usb, it will automatically format the usb drive for you

[winged sky]

It does this automatically when you install windows to it.

[shrewd coral]

Okay

[thorn escarp]

okok

[shrewd coral]

Just to make sure is anything what’s inside the usb important

[left dove]

no

[shrewd coral]

Alr

It’s also not 8gb

[left dove]

then take the windows usb and install to that

[shrewd coral]

okay

[cold skiff]

You using the first ever Nokia camera phone for that photo?

[shrewd coral]

Just to make sure again anything important on that one

[shrewd coral]

It wasn’t sharp

[left dove]

yes just install over it

[cold skiff]

It was as sharp as rubber

[shrewd coral]

Okay

[shrewd coral]

It’s at a solid 7%

[left dove]

You really don't have to ping me every 5 minutes with percentage updates

[thorn escarp]

hey this is a usb 3.2 gen 1 5Gbps connector right????

[left dove]

yes

[winged sky]

Says 3.0 but should still work yea

[thorn escarp]

ty

wait there's a difference?

[left dove]

oh god no its fine just put that in the port

lets not explain usb rn

[winged sky]

Fine fine

[thorn escarp]

now im scared im gonna fuck something up

[left dove]

time & a place

NO ITS FINE

[winged sky]

No dude fr its fine

[thorn escarp]

ok

[shrewd coral]

Okay, just to know what do I do when it’s finished

[left dove]

you close the program, remove the flash drive, put it in the broken pc, and boot from the flash drive. from there you'll want to find the repair option and go from there

[left dove]

ITS FINE IT GOES THERE

[tidal geyser]

[thorn escarp]

wait what about the open space

on the port?

[shrewd coral]

K, just to know for sure I’m now downloading it on the usb I plugged out but this is still on the screen, do I do anything with it

[left dove]

just shut it down for now

[left dove]

its keyed so you don't put it in backwards

[winged sky]

IM SORRYYy

[shrewd coral]

Okay

[winged sky]

Thats so that you dont put it in backwards

Match the notch to the slot

[thorn escarp]

ty goat

ok

only things left now are gpu + its cable

and the rgb and fans

[left dove]

please do that before the gpu

[thorn escarp]

yup

[winged sky]

@thorn escarp gpu last.

Always

[lavish needle]

Does anyone know what program or site or whatever it is that gets text like this? How can I make a video or image with text like this? https://tenor.com/view/tweaking-gif-6612655232239288727

[thorn escarp]

gotcha

ok SO it seems like the case people did the work for me cus i only have 4 rgb + fan cables in total

[tidal geyser]

Tried searching up gif maker or meme maker?

[lavish needle]

Is that what it is

[winged sky]

Notsobot works in discord if you have your own server

[lavish needle]

I don't

[winged sky]

And it does that fairly well

[winged sky]

Then just search up meme makers

[rigid fjord]

gen 1 and gen 2

[rigid fjord]

i forgot to add, this reminds me of the inside of some geodes

[left dove]

[winged sky]

thats siiiiick

[thorn escarp]

what is this 3 pin port

apparently its supposed to go in "VDG"

on the mobo

[winged sky]

looks like a fan header but it is so out of focus

[rigid fjord]

the only issue would be static build up due to it. otherwise it would be viable as a flexible ducting

[left dove]

ok but case grounding

like it's not gonna be just free-floating

[thorn escarp]

what's a header? just something that makes all the fans run?

[left dove]

header = plug

[thorn escarp]

the case manual is fucking DOG SHIT

it doesnt offer anything good, lemme show u sumn

the fan power i understand

[left dove]

that's pretty easy to follow tbh

[thorn escarp]

im sorry i really dont understand, its a 2D version of the plugs when i have no idea what they represent

[left dove]

the first one tells you how to wire the rgb, the second tells you how to wire the power

[thorn escarp]

oh i have one more question

so the sata cables from the psu

[rigid fjord]

can still end up with static on the fabric tbh, would need to have either antistatic material, or some steel fibre through to act as extra grounding points inside the fabric

[thorn escarp]

i just put them into the hdd place, theyre touching bare metal

is that fine or should i put electrical tape on em just to be safe

[left dove]

photo pls

[rigid fjord]

ARGB, it may need an adapret cable to make it fir the normal header on the mobo

[thorn escarp]

its all in the cage

[left dove]

its fine

[thorn escarp]

i saw this video from ltt fixing xqc's computer where he left some shit unplugged

[left dove]

Dude. It's fine.

I've been fixing pcs for longer than you've been alive probably

[thorn escarp]

jeez im an unc

[novel depot]

I recently came across this project called Copyparty, which is a singular Python file that creates a lightweight file-server but with robust features. I found that this is extremely useful for me to quickly transfer files between my devices, no configuration/installation needed on any device.

Is anyone here crazy enough to host an full-fledged file-server with Copyparty? I wanna know about your setup

[winged sky]

school doesnt teach you how to build computers

[rigid fjord]

and i'm 40, so?

[left dove]

gdi

[winged sky]

nothin wrong with that lol

[thorn escarp]

how do u plug anything in?

[left dove]

...you rotate the antennas out of the way

[latent pasture]

move them sideward

manifest cell of the brain

[thorn escarp]

okay so one of the ports is labelled, its connected to my rgb hub and it says sata 5V, but i dont see a 5 volt one anywhere

in my mobo manual

[rigid fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/tim-curry-gomez-addams-the-addams-family-great-idea-smile-gif-14475572935862333741

[winged sky]

that plugs into your psu.

[thorn escarp]

nothing plugs into my psu it's a non modular one

its coming out of this thing

im assuming this is an rgb hub

[rigid fjord]

2015

[sinful cobalt]

critical thinking died when schools started trying to encourage critical thinking

[rigid fjord]

the day after critical thinking stopped

[sinful cobalt]

we all collectively decided to turn off our brains

[winged sky]

send a picture of the connector you are talking about

[rigid fjord]

not really an argb/rgb hub, but it's definitely to do with some kind of rgb control

[winged sky]

at the end of the wire

[thorn escarp]

its connected to all the fans

[rigid fjord]

nah, natural selection was around, so critical thinking and reasoning was about more often

[winged sky]

the one that says sata 5v

[rigid fjord]

that goes to the psu via sata power

[thorn escarp]

that's what i said

[sinful cobalt]

dont mind me with a 5090 playing a visual novel of all things

god i hate how the current driver doesnt have proper auto fan stop'

[thorn escarp]

through the mobo right?

not directly into the psu?

[rigid fjord]

no ffs, it's through the psu

[thorn escarp]

i cant plug anything into the psu ffs its non modular

it came with everything

[winged sky]

how are your fans that loud.... also that isnt a driver thing that is a card specific feature

[rigid fjord]

sata data, is only connected to the mobo

[rigid fjord]

yes the fuck you can, it directly plugs into the sata power connector

[winged sky]

BRO PLUG IT INTO THE SAME DAMN THing youd plug your hard drive into

wide flat connector

[thorn escarp]

I DONT KNOW WHERE THAT GOES

[sinful cobalt]

dawg ive heard and had some1 try an older driver and their 0rpm mode decided to come back

also ive tried nvidia, msi ab, fan control and even the fuckass gigabyte control centre and its basically impossible to get auto 0rpm

and not for rgb and what not

[sinful cobalt]

its a power connector that us used for most things that dont draw that much power in a pc. just be lucky it aint MOLEX

idk what molex is pls be patient w me its my FIRST TIME 😭

molex is what came before sate power

you'll likely never use it working with modern hardware

[thorn escarp]

wait so if im plugging the sata 5V RGB wire into the sata cable, does the front of sata need to go in mobo as well? this is what it looks like:

That's molex

[thorn escarp]

I DID, I WATCHED THE bits that i was AFRAID OF

[hushed raptor]

which part

like sata ssd?

[thorn escarp]

i was afraid of plugging in cpu and flashing bios

[winged sky]

all of it

[left dove]

Wh-

WATCH THE WHOLE THING

[jaunty apex]

Watch all of it so you can figure out the parts you are ignorant to as well

[thorn escarp]

I DID

[thorn escarp]

I SWEAR i watched it

[winged sky]

eeegghhh gys calm down

[thorn escarp]

😭😭😭😭

[hushed raptor]

did you water your gpu yet

[left dove]

The calm is fucking gone

[hushed raptor]

if u dont it wont work

[left dove]

make sure to lube your ssd as well

[hushed raptor]

yes

[winged sky]

you brought up lube

this is on you

[left dove]

as in motor oil or gun oil not fucking that

Super lube, best for 3D printers

he needs a molex cable for his psu now for his dumb fan hub thing

[thorn escarp]

i

i thought bios flashing was the hardest part

and this was all a walk in the park

[winged sky]

nope

[thorn escarp]

it HASNT been a walk in the park

ive been walking over hot coals with my bare feet

[winged sky]

matter of fact bios flashing was probs the easiest

[hushed raptor]

the hardest part of building a pc is getting enough money for the parts

[thorn escarp]

peyton ur gonna be disappointed

but i still dont know where to look for molex in the ltt video

[tidal geyser]

[thorn escarp]

is the psu fan sposed to be on TOP?

[winged sky]

it looks like this

[tidal geyser]

No

[winged sky]

this is where you plug that into

[thorn escarp]

thank all that is holy

yea but where do i find this cable

[tidal geyser]

With your eyes

[thorn escarp]

bro im deadass

wait do we even need to bother with the molex because what adi showed was the psu side of the molex

[tidal geyser]

Ffs

if the hub uses sata why are we bothering with molex from the psu

[winged sky]

what am i missunderstanding

[tidal geyser]

No only the sticks made for the controller works with it

[uneven hearth]

Idk what that means which probably means im stupid

[winged sky]

because for some reason that is the connector on the end of the hub power wire

[tidal geyser]

Yup

[thorn escarp]

the hub has 5V sata i think?

[tidal geyser]

That is sata

And its plugged in

[left dove]

yeah that's wired correctly

[winged sky]

its plugged in right....

[left dove]

no, it's not.

[thorn escarp]

where does the molex go now? cus its the end of the wire, it has to go somewhere right?

[left dove]

no it goes nowhere

[winged sky]

no i mean it is plugged in CORRECTLY

[rigid fjord]

til when you do for cheapo fan/argb/rgb hubs or certain pumps

[winged sky]

you dont need molex

[thorn escarp]

MY GOD

[winged sky]

i did say likely

[thorn escarp]

[left dove]

[rigid fjord]

personally i still prefer it over sata, it's way more secure

[thorn escarp]

what is this 5V sata wire? does it control the fan speed or rgb?

[tidal geyser]

No

It's power

[thorn escarp]

does it power the fans?

[winged sky]

this just screams secure

[thorn escarp]

gotcha

SO

im pretty sure now, i have a wire from my psu, with 1 molex, and 3 sata wires

one of those satas in plugged into this wire which powers the fans i think

i dont need to plug anything else from here right?

[winged sky]

shouldnt have to

[thorn escarp]

okay now i just have these three ports left, idk their names cus its not in the case manual

[rigid fjord]

it's harder to pull apart than sata ever has been, and doesn't need an extra locking mechanism at times like sata does

[thorn escarp]

and they're all on the OTHER side of the fan controller/rgb hub/whatever it is

[tidal geyser]

Did goes to motherboard

[rigid fjord]

also, molex can take way more current than sata could

[thorn escarp]

okay. what's it called so i can look in the manual to see where it goes

it just says "tkg 2510" on it

[latent gull]

Mmmm, for when you want your hard drives well done

[thorn escarp]

that's not a molex?

[untold lance]

Why does my pc say it doesn’t meet the requirements for windows 11 whenever the specs are good enough?

[tidal geyser]

What da fuc

I just bought a R5 3600 and rx 5700 pc for 220

[tidal geyser]

Update the bios

[tidal geyser]

It is not

[thorn escarp]

😭😭😭 i have looked everywhere on my mobo for a three pin connector and i cant find anything

i have no idea what it does otherwise i could prolly find it
